Australian cricket great caught up in tax probe

Former Australian cricket captain Allan Border on Thursday admitted authorities were investigating his tax affairs but insisted he had done nothing wrong.

Border confirmed reports he had been questioned by Australian tax officials conducting an extensive probe into offshore tax havens used by high-profile sports, entertainment and business personalities.

"I am reasonably relaxed. I have been in touch with the tax office via my accountants and hopefully it will be sorted out," he said on ABC radio.
